CLEVELAND, GA„ SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 24. 1880. Why Not! Why not bravely meet the duties That around our pathway lie? Buckle on the waiting armor With firm band unshrinkingly. When wrong so badly triumphs O'er the right, the good and true, And thcTS wait for ns the labors Which no other hand can do? Why not thrust the sharpened siekia While the fields of golden grain Wait the reaper’s tardy coming On the world’s wide harvest plain ? Shall JThe Master's garner languish , And we heedless idle here, With so many sheaves ungathered, Ani the noontide drawing near? Why not raise the fallen brother Sinking in sin’s vortex wide, When the multitude unpitying Pass him on the other side.. Or with scorn and jest upbraid him With his folly or his sin ! Why not bind tho wounded spirit—■ Pour the oil of joy within? Why not? Ah, could we discover, in the far beyond that lies, Now concealed from mortal vision, All the secret ininis'ries, We mightgive to olher spirits All the hope, the faith, the jey, All the gold of souls most precious We might save from sins alloy. With one view but to impress us, With the truth ‘What mighthave been, ’ Seeing with,the undimmed vision Of eternity, os then How our eager feet would hasten To perform life’s every vow— Soothe and comfort, raise and strong' hen.. Toilinlovo; Ah. why not now ? MormoDism at Its Best. The split from Salt Lake Mermonism nceurred at, or soon after, the death of the old orignal Joseph Smith, and was caused by the introduction of polygamy into the doctrines of the church, as well as tho usurpation of the P,residency by Brigham Young, who, at the time, was merely the head of the twelve apostles, Joseph Smith, just before his (bath, is reported" to have said that it ffrigD'afc ever got control of the church he would lead it to hell, and Joseph gauged Brigham very closely. It must be borne in mind that the Josepbites claim to be the only true, unadulterated Mormon Church, and that the Brigbamites are a spurious imitation, full of damning heresies and abominable doctrines. They claim to bo identically the same as when Joseph Smith first started the machinery on the Gth of April, 1830, and it was not until after the death of Joseph and his brother Uyrum, at Car¬ thage, 111, on the 27ih of June, 184-1, that the Brigham braneh took shape and form, Under the Presidency of Smith tne churcQ became a corporate body, and adopted as a constitution, or form of chureh government and discipline, the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the book of doctrines and covenants the latter being added in Agust. 1835, the first two having been the founda¬ tion of faith from the beginning and the essential points of faith, as set forth by their leaders, are elosely allied to the general belief of the Gentile churches. They believe in the Trinity and in the atonement of Christ; that man will be punished for bis own sins, and not be¬ cause of Adam’s transgression! and that salvation is to be gained by strict obe¬ dience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel, enumerating them as: First, faith in God aud the Lord Jesus Christ, second iepentanc«; third, baptism by immersion for remission of sins; fourth, laying on of bands tor the gift of the Holy Spirit: fifth, belief in the resurrec¬ tion of the body,- aud sixth, belief in the doctrine of eternal judgment. Fur¬ ther, they believe that a man must he called of God and ordained by the lay¬ ing on of hands of those who are in authority, to entitle him to preach, that the organization should be tho same as of the primitive church, viz; apostles prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, helps and governments. that in the Bible is the word of God, so far as it is translated correctly, the Book of Mormon supplying the balance that marriage is ordained of God, and that there should be hut one companion in wedlock for either man or woman: that the doctrines of a plurality, and a community of wives are heresies, aod are opposed to the law of God; the right to worship Almighty God in such a manner as the conscience of each may approve, provided that such worship does not enjoin a disregard of the whole¬ some rights of others. The great essential point of differ¬ ence from the Utah bigamists is the decided stand taken against polygamy, and this they found upon the teachings of the three books that form their con ititution.— Denver Tribint. JEFFRRSON’S MANNERS. - When Jefferson became Presid tut he carried his simple manners and taste into official life. He determined that his inauguration as the chief officer of the republic should be aa free from dis¬ play as possible- Dressed in plain black clothes, ho rode on horseback to the old capitol, without guard or ser¬ vant, dismounted without assistance! and hitched his horse to the fence. On the steps he was mot by a number of friends, who accompanied him to the Senate chamber, where he delivered his inaugural address. Daring the admin¬ istrations of General Washington and John Adams the sessions of Congress had been opened in a style similar to that by which the English sovereign opens parliament. The President, ac> companied by a large escort on horse' back, drove in state to the capitol. Taking his seat in the Senate Chamber and the House of Representatives being summoned, ho read bis address. Mr. Jefferson, to whom such ceremonies were distasteful, swept them all away by one act. Lie sent a written message to Congress, which was read to both houses by their respective clerks and that practice has been observed ever since. Against ono of hia reforms, however, the ladies of Washington rose up en mtx?se. Mr. Jefferson, disliking tho levees which had been held at the White House, abolished Lbem*. He es tablisbed two public days for tho recep¬ tion of company—the fir|t of January and the fourth of July. Oh other days he was at homo to all others, who came on business or out of courtesy. Many of tho Washington ladies,; mdigiUtot at their social pleasures ben; thus cur* tailed, determined to , ■ the Presi *““ r h „ l^ee. d *• ~«iji v , o« full dress to the White f ;.ouso. The The President was out taking a ride on horseback. On his return he saw that the public rooms were filled with ele gautly GT' 8S6(1 ladies. At ouce clivio ing the plot, he appeared before the fair guests booted and spurred and covered with dust. So courteous was his reeep> tion of them, and so graceful his man ners, that the ladies went away delight ed with the President, but chagrined with themselves. They felt that thev v had , been guilty of a rudeness , in visit ing a guest who did not expect them, It was their last attempt to break through the rules of Jefferson's house hold.— Youth's Companion. A CAT AND A RATTLESNAKE. About three weeks ago, daring the beautiful sunny weather wo have had which induced the trees to bud aud ,, bloom, T I was walking ... m my garden , one morning, thinking about preparing for an early start for spring vegetables, when I saw a large rattlesnake sunning. My first impulse was to go to the house, get a gun, and kill it. But looking around, I saw a very large house cat cautiously creeping upon the reptile. Anticipating a fight, and equally desir¬ ous of getting rid of the cat which kii 1 ud chickens, I concluded to witness his attack upon the snake. 1 he cat crawled , , upon its . stomach, , pulling on its feet, whisking its tail from side to side, and every now and then stretching its head to view the snake. When about eight or ten feet off the snake suddenly coiled up, sprung its rattlei, faced the cat, and darted its tongue out rapidly. The cat commenc¬ ed a rapid circle around the snake, so fast, in fact, that the eyes could hardly keep up with it. At last it got near enough and made a dart at its enemy, but through providential reasons, it went high above the snake, which also struck at the cat, thus breaking its coil. The cat went too far, and by £be time it had turned to face its foe the reptile was again coiled and ready for the attack. The same method was adopted and carried on for four or five times, occupy¬ ing at least half an hour. The cat wished . , . „ to eaten *l„ the snake, , u but . eeemed ggsaaggSHBasigaw aware that if it missed the neck, it would be certain death. At the sixth aa sault they met, ami im.ramly the snake was wrapped ia several told ; around the body of the cat which used its sharp claws with deadly off) t. The cat had Jften bitten on tho head and neck several times, and both con tinned to fight. The snake wtfs Dm nearly to shreds, but 'did not unclose iiscoii, about its victim. Tire- poison . was swift and deadly, but before tho oat died, it eaught the 'snake's bead in its mouth and crushed it, and’- f Mating they died, the snake-unwrapped 'the ‘.at in its coils, 'i he snake fneasun.-d four feet eight inches, and had thirteen rat¬ tles Americas (Ga.)
